To be fair to the previous owners and management, that was for a very good reason. Merging ntl, Telewest and Virgin Mobile and turning the business around to make a profit were the priorities.

Buying up additional companies in addition to that would have been a distraction. Liberty bought VM when they did, and can now look at acquisitions, because of the work that had been done.
